Armand Duplantis was completely snubbed after the WC gold – here are the new clear Swedish demands: “Would have been strange otherwise”

Armand Duplantis is once again superior in the WC.
Then he deserves to be celebrated at the Sports Gala, after the giant nob last time.
– Otherwise it would be strange, says the expert Alhaji Jeng in SVT.

Second straight WC gold for Armand Duplantis who continues to be completely superior in pole vaulting. And he was also extremely close to breaking a new world record.

Duplanti’s success

He is one of Sweden’s foremost sportsmen, but many still remember how he was completely knocked out at the last Sports Gala. Last year, he had also won WC gold outdoors and a world record, but despite that was completely without prizes at the Swedish gala.

Instead it was Nils van der Poel which took grand slam and it attracted a lot of criticism. The king of skating has ended his career and for the next edition of the Sports Gala, the Swedes must act, the SVT expert now thinks Alhaji Jeng.

Requirements for Mondo

He believes that “Mondo” deserves to win a prize. At the same time as there is a new big threat in the national team colleague Daniel Ståhl.
– Now Daniel Ståhl sails up and replaces van der Poel. I think it is between the two (Duplantis and Ståhl). I hope that Duplantis gets an award this year, otherwise it would be strange, says Jeng in the television program “Sportspegeln”.
– What he does is reason enough. We have been spoiled. You always expect a world record when he stands on the approach track. I think we should honor and pay attention to the fantastic work he does.

With another WC gold and world record during the year, it will be difficult to overlook Armand Duplantis again at the Sports Gala that will sum up the Swedish sports year in 2023. Even if he himself was not too disappointed last time.
– It’s perfectly fine. I’m not complaining that much. It doesn’t matter to me, he said in a statement after the last Sports Gala.
